Multicultural Curriculum with Yoga and Gardening Lessons All Staff has Child Development Degrees Music and Movement Turtle Exhibit and Pet Chickens Affordable rates - rates include healthy homemade meals Hours: 7:30 am to 5:30 pm We have positive reviews Healthy Toddlers Care mission is to provide a program which considers the intellectual, creative, social, emotional and physical development of the whole child while fostering curiosity, confidence, and compassion in an academically rich environment that inspires a lifelong commitment to learning. We believe that a safe, stable, healthy and culturally relevant environment is crucial to a child's growth. Through the cooperative partnership of parents and staff, we provide a model of community that will sustain and enrich our children throughout their lives. FAQ Q: What age range do you accept? Generally, we only accept infants who are 18 months and older. However, we may make an exception for a child who can walk and feed him/her self. If your child doesn't have these skills, it's best for you to sign up for our waiting list. However, we will except school age students for drop-in purposes. We understand that families need services when their school may have an extended holiday break or school closer dates. Q: Do you have a cut off age? Yes. Our enrollment cut-off age is four-years-old. We strongly believe that children need to graduate from childcare to preschool at age four. Just as students in an elementary, middle and high school are usually grouped by age, we find that the four-year-olds are ready to break away from the toddlers and infants to prepare for kindergarten. Q: Do you accept part-time enrollments? I was thinking of using a childcare service for two or three days a week. As a family childcare home, we have a limited number of students we can enroll. It doesn't make sense for us to allocate space for part-time students. You are welcome to enroll your child on a full-time basis and not send him/her every day. But we do charge full tuition for every child regardless of the number of days he/she attends. Q: What are your hours? Our regular hours are from 7:30 to 5:30. Ther

Hello Parents, My name is Mahtab. I am living in Rancho Penasquitos. Moonlight Daycare Inc. is licensed by the State of California. Here is some information about myself. I got my Child Development Teacher and Master Teacher certificates, from Miramar College. I got a Teacher Permit from San Diego County Office of Education, 2015. I have 5 years of experience as a family home daycare caregiver. I worked more than five years in the Child Development Center in Miramar College, and I have more than 10 years' experience teaching preschoolers. I also have CPR and First Aid certifications. I check both my phone and email so please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions. I really love working with children. I use simple ways for your kid to handle transitions from the daycare to school. I have worked with many special needs children become more involved in the community. I have some strategies for guiding children's behavior in my daycare settings based on their ages. For example, encourage children to set good examples for each other, show respect for them, keep rules simple and easy to understand, discuss rules with children, consider kids' suggestions for rules, and repeat the rules often. A few rules that work well with children include: Help each other. Be kind to each other. Take your turn. Take care of our toys. Say please and thank you. I like to find ways to make the environment safe, fun, educational and supportive for your children. When a child is having a good time, they are more open and receptive to new experiences. I provide healthy meals each day for breakfast, lunch, and nutritious snacks and drinks. My daycare is clean, and organized with new, safe inside and outside flooring, smoke-free, and pet-free with new different kinds of toys, puzzles, books that children like to play or read. I have a large and safe backyard with fun play equipment. Children also have great time with educational and fun kids' music with dancing and singing. My house is located in a safe place very close to Police and Fire Department Stations, and is very close to highway 56 and 15 maybe less than one minute. I accept children with the CDA, Child Care Awareness.

Our program is Eco-Friendly, so we want to emphasize the importance of children being outdoors so they may learn natural processes and become knowledgeable and appreciative of nature. We do organic gardening. We compost our food scraps in compost bins and through vermi-composting. We do rainwater harvesting, and use grey-water to water the fruit trees. We have even gone solar! We offer healthy meals and snacks. We provide foods that are minimally processed and mostly organic. We strive to follow The Environmental Working Group's, "Shoppers Guide To Pesticides in Produce". We serve "family" style. It is great when we are able to eat what we have harvested from our trees and gardens! We recognize each child as an unique individual. We seek to provide the most appropriate learning experience for your child by creating an environment that is child-guided and developmentally based. Our program provides children with the freedom of choice within structure, which encourages the development of problem-solving skills, self-reliance, and socialization. We believe that play is an important part of a child's day. When children play, they construct their own knowledge of the world, physically, cognitively, socially, and this is the most meaningful type of knowledge. By observing how and what type of play the children are engaged in, this helps us determine the activities and experiences to offer the children.

FAQs for finding preschools near you in San Diego, CA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in San Diego, CA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in San Diego, CA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in San Diego, CA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in San Diego, CA.

When looking for a preschool near you in San Diego, CA on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools. Be sure to check any reviews from other families in San Diego, CA who have previously sent their kids to any of the preschools you are interested in.
